"The major media have chosen to know as little about Trayvon Martin as they know about Barack Obama"

The media's willful ignorance was on display again this past week. In reporting this news of George Zimmerman's return to jail, more than a few media outlets showed the dangerously deceptive image of Trayvon as 11-year-old cherub. They did so in the assumption that the narrative was still theirs to control. It is not. The blogs, which have been doing the real detective work on this case, have long since taken control away from them.

The sites I have found must useful are the Daily Caller and theconservativetreehouse.com. What follows is largely culled from those sites and their independent contributors. By probing Trayon's background and parsing his social media chatter, they have put together a picture of a disturbed young man that begins to makes sense of the events that unfolded on that fateful rainy night of February 26.

A timeline follows that is revealing. Read it all. Get others to do the same.

If George Zimmerman is found guilty of 2nd degree murder, justice will not have been served. Instead, a travesty of justice will ensue making this already tragic event even more so.
